Strong Couples Project: Disseminating Evidence-based Relationship Education

Strong Couples Project: ePREP Nationwide Dissemination

The current research is designed to implement and evaluate the ePREP relationship intervention with couples via the Cooperative Extension system.

The objective of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of an online intervention (ePREP) for help-seeking couples designed to promote individual and couple well-being. Newly developed online intervention programs for distressed couples have shown to be efficacious, but their overall reach to the general population remains limited. The current research is designed to implement and evaluate the ePREP relationship intervention with couples throughout the nation in a manner that allows for scalable, sustainable program delivery.
